Yes, you. The one who exists.Others will "read" this, but they are but props on the stage.As am I. We're all in on the joke, except you of course.The one who exists. The reader. The only one who will everread this. Yes, you know who you are because you're reading it.Some of the rest of the props will feign reading it--perhaps evenreply--but it will be only for your benefit. We're all actually the same.Except you. Why did we write this?Are we letting you in on the joke finally? Don't be absurd!That would be against the rules. We write this for the irony.The irony of you reading it, considering it, and chuckling--butnot believing it. Why should you? You've got no reason to.And besides, you think: if this were really intended only foryou, it wouldn't be addressed to "you", but rather it would beaddressed to that name--that label--which your friends and familyuse to refer to you when they want to differentiate you fromsomeone else. But you see, in this case there is no need fordifferentiation, since you are the only one. There is no-one elseto differentiate you from; not even me. When I say me--or we--I really mean your subconscious. It's worked quite well, overthe years, in making all of us up. And we thank you for that!If there were a few inconsistancies here and there in the plot,a little suspension of disbelief on your part was all we needed tostitch it together and continue the play. Good job, take a bow!And now, I leave you to continue deciding what happens next.Carry on... and don't forget to discount this all, so you'll reallyfeel that insidious irony!
